In part 13, Shanti lets the mystics speak: Gautama Buddha, Dōgen Zenji, Hakuin Ekaku, Kabir and Ramakrishna

Vivekananda was called and Ramakrishna shouted very angrily and said, ‘Is this the way to use power?’

“The golden gate is open for those who are simple, who are humble, who are almost nobodies…” adds Osho.

Osho comments on the last stanzas of Desiderata: ‘Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.’

“Our own imagination is our last barrier. Once we are without imagination then reality is there face to face,” says Osho.

“For thousands of years the human mind has believed that by going to a holy pool, to a river or to a pond, all will be good. You want to find cheap ways to get rid of all that you have been doing, you don’t want to take its responsibility on yourself,” states Osho. From our series 1001 Tales, compiled by Shanti.

How many books have I talked about in the P.P.S? Hmmm? “Forty, Osho.” Forty? “Yes, Osho.”

With man, suffering deepens because mind can move to the past and conceive of the future.

Osho speaks on 11 books, among them The Song of Saraha, Let Go!, and Ramakrishna’s Parables.
